He has a huge cattle ranch that he doesnt want to be away from. He has 15 teams that the Astros can trade him to without his permission

Just signed Gustavo Cabrera, 5th ranked international prospect this year, only 16 years old.

Apparently a toolsy CF but needs work with the bat.

Just saw that. Interesting. Hopefully he doesn't turn out to be another Angel Villalona

16, huh? That means he's probably about 23.

Well, we sign international players pretty frequently who haven't gone Angel's route so I wouldn't be too worried.

I'm sorry, but this is funny. Taken from the ESPN article on the 2002 Giants reunion:

"Game 6 happened and I don't even remember Game 7," said Bonds, slimmed down to about 212 pounds from his new love of cycling. "

Oh the ironing.

Also this:

The Giants have agreed to sign 16-year-old third baseman Natanael Javier for $475K, Badler writes. The Dominican prospect was named the MVP of the Dominican Prospect League's PG International Series all-tournament game last month.

Seems to make a lot of sense now with the way our draft went, apparently Javier and Cabrera are some of the best prospects for their age. I forget which scout said it, but he referred to Cabrera as the best 16 year old player in the world.

Also, here's a vid for Javier:

Supposedly really great defensively and has decent power. Swing needs to be a little more fluid/smooth though as you can see there's just a tiny hitch in the video.
